In writer and poet Ben Lerner's latest novel, “Transcription,” an unnamed narrator travels to interview his elderly mentor. But shortly after checking into his hotel, the narrator knocks his phone into water, ruining the only recording device he brought. What unfolds is an exploration of all of the mundane and profound ways technology intersects with our lives. There's the bad: the mental offloading and trust we place in our smartphones and the uncanny valley of glitchy Zoom calls. But there's also the good: how it can sometimes be easier to express ourselves through phone calls rather than in-person, or how ASMR videos can actually benefit some children. We'll talk with Lerner about novels' long history of documenting human relationships with technology, and his own expanding definition of fiction. Guests: Ben Lerner, author, “Leaving the Atocha Station,” “10:04,” and “The Topeka School,” which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize; his latest novel is “Transcription.” Learn more about your ad choices.

It may have won Best Picture, but this Lerner and Loewe musical ages poorly.
En este episodio conversamos con Lisandro Sanabria, kinesiólogo argentino especializado en neurorrehabilitación, sobre una pregunta tan sencilla como profunda: ¿qué papel juega el sueño en la recuperación neurológica? A partir de su trayectoria clínica e investigadora, nos adentramos en la relación entre sueño, memoria y aprendizaje motor. Hablamos de ondas lentas, spindles talamocorticales, ripples hipocampales, sueño REM, reconsolidación y de cómo el cerebro podría seguir “trabajando” después de una sesión de terapia. El hilo conductor de la conversación es su investigación sobre la distancia temporal entre la rehabilitación y el sueño nocturno en pacientes con daño cerebral adquirido. Comentamos los resultados de un estudio retrospectivo con 50 pacientes, las tendencias observadas en quienes dormían poco después de la sesión y, sobre todo, las muchas preguntas que todavía quedan abiertas: cronotipo, insomnio, siestas, medicación, horarios, registros objetivos del sueño y diseño de futuros estudios. Una conversación sobre lo que ocurre cuando termina la sesión: cómo se consolida lo aprendido, qué tareas podrían beneficiarse más del sueño y por qué quizá la rehabilitación del futuro no solo deba preguntarse cuánto y qué entrenamos, sino también cuándo lo hacemos.

Een half jaar geleden al begonnen collega’s zich bij het bureau van Marja en Charlotte te verdringen: 'mogen wij over de nieuwe Ben Lerner schrijven?' Lerner bedrijft het soort fictie waar literair critici idolaat van zijn. In zijn nieuwe boek Transcriptie (vert. Arthur Wevers) is een verstrooide, naamloze verteller van plan zijn oude mentor te interviewen voor een literair tijdschrift. Deze Thomas was ooit een heel grote in zijn vak. Het wordt vermoedelijk zijn laatste interview. Maar in het hotel gaat het mis: de telefoon van de verteller belandt in de wasbak en begeeft het, waardoor hij geen mogelijkheid meer heeft het gesprek op te nemen. Het relaas blijft onopgetekend en wat volgt is een opeenstapeling van miscommunicatie en misverstanden. Waarom is Ben Lerner zo interessant voor critici om te bespreken? We hebben het ook over zijn essay over poëzie, The Hatred of Poetry. Hoe helpt Ben Lerner om Marja en Charlotte poëzie te laten lezen? Luisteraars vragen zich af: waarom gaat Nederlandse fictie eigenlijk niet over politiek? En wat zijn mooie, Engelstalige boeken over vechtsport?

On this week's episode, we review the latest novel by Ben Lerner. We discuss auto-fictions limitations and why we were left frustrated by this potentially thought provoking novel. And, finally, we discussed adding a beach read to our TBR, (since Lerner was so adamant that his latest novel was most definitely not a beach read)If you've read "Transcription" let us know your thoughts.As always, thanks for listening.Contact Us:Instagram @therewillbbooksTwitter @therewillbbooksEmail willbebooks@gmail.comGoodreads: Therewillbebooksko-fi.com/therewillbbookspatreon.com/therewillbbooks

Lerner's new novel(la) is a revelation. One that deserves a LOT of our attention. It's a text that tests the limits and potentials of what fiction can do. Whether you loved it or came away wondering what the hell you just read, these ninety minutes should deepen your appreciation for this latest from one of my very favorite writers of all time.
Weather is the one thing you cannot plan for. But you can plan around it. That difference — between being caught off guard and being positioned for whatever comes — is what this session is about. Drew Lerner has been reading the atmosphere for 47 years. Commodity markets, food companies, and producers worldwide rely on him. He is the kind of guy who can draw the jet stream on a whiteboard in real time and make it feel like a kitchen table conversation. That is exactly what happened here. Darren Sander runs a farm south of Rosetown, Saskatchewan. He has spent years figuring out how to reduce the damage weather does to his operation before the weather ever shows up. He opens the session by laying out the practical side — what farmers actually do to protect their crops from a season that has already made up its mind. Together, the three of them cover a lot of ground. Topics Covered How prairie farmers mitigate weather before it arrives Seed timing, variety selection, soil biology, compaction, and why the first 30 days dictate maximum yield potential. Darren explains the logic behind building resilient crops when the inputs are already fighting you. What the drought monitor is actually showing — and what it is missing The North American drought monitor does not capture long-term soil depletion well. For producers entering their eighth or ninth year of persistent dryness, the map looks more encouraging than it is. Drew explains why, and what to watch for as temperatures climb this spring. The ridge of high pressure problem — and why the US dryness matters to you When soil is dry, ridges of high pressure intensify and hold. When soil is wet, ridges collapse. Right now, the Rocky Mountain snowpack and the US Plains are running significantly below normal, which means any summer ridge could anchor itself, amplify, and push north into the prairies. This is not the official forecast. It is the official worry. What a Montana low means for the Southwest prairies Montana lows have been rare in recent years. That is a big part of why southern Alberta and southwest Saskatchewan have been so dry. One showed up in April 2026. Drew explains why that matters and what it signals about the pattern shift that may be coming. The two competing weather patterns fighting over the prairies right now A ridge-dominated western pattern and an active US trough pattern have been alternating all winter. Neither one has been generous to the Canadian prairies. Drew explains when and how the jet stream will shift northward — and what that means for when moisture actually arrives. The 18-year cycle and what it says about 2026 The lunar cycle is one of Drew's most reliable long-range tools. He walks through what it is, how it interacts with El Niño, and why 2026 looks meaningfully different from the worst years of the recent drought. El Niño — what it actually means for the prairies, and what it does not El Niño is coming. The hype is overblown. Drew separates the signal from the noise, breaks down timing versus intensity, and explains what the transition from La Niña to El Niño typically looks like for June, July, and August across different regions of the prairies. The solar cycle, commodity markets, and the window you are in right now Drew overlays the 11-year and 22-year solar cycles with corn and canola futures prices going back to the 1970s. The pattern is real and it matters for how you think about marketing. The 2020–2023 drought was not random — it was consistent with the solar minimum-to-maximum period. We are now two years past the solar maximum. That changes the outlook. Why the Northeast prairies and Manitoba face a different set of problems Too much snow. Heavy soils. A wetter June on the way. The challenge in the east is almost the opposite of the challenge in the southwest, and Drew addresses both. Peace country — is it going to be wet all spring? The short answer: yes, there is real risk of delayed seeding. Drew explains the pattern and what to watch for. Weather modification — does cloud seeding actually work? Drew gives a genuinely honest answer to a question that generates a lot of heat in agricultural communities. Worth listening to. Forest fire smoke and its effect on crop temperatures An uncomfortable truth: in 2021, smoke from northern fires may have actually moderated temperatures enough to reduce crop losses. Drew explains the physics. Global market drivers to watch in late 2026 and into 2027 El Niño's impact on Southeast Asia, India, and the pulse markets. Coffee, cocoa, palm oil, and what to pay attention to if you're thinking about canola.

Recorded live at Shakespeare and Company, Adam Biles speaks with Ben Lerner about his novel Transcription, a formally inventive meditation on technology, memory, and human connection.Beginning with the novel's deceptively simple premise (a writer loses his recording device and reconstructs an interview from memory) the conversation expands into questions of mediation, voice, and authenticity. Lerner explores how devices reshape attention and relationships, suggesting that humans themselves function as “media,” transmitting voices across time and between generations.The discussion moves between the philosophical and the intimate: from the limits of digital communication to the emotional power of disembodied voices, from intergenerational care to the fragile transmission of experience. Ultimately, Transcription emerges as a reflection on how stories, memories, and voices persist—less as fixed recordings than as living, shifting acts of interpretation.Buy Transcription: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/transcription-4Ben Lerner was born in Topeka, Kansas, in 1979. He has received fellowships from the Fulbright, Guggenheim, and MacArthur Foundations, and is the author of three other internationally acclaimed novels, Leaving the Atocha Station, 10:04 and The Topeka School. He has published the poetry collections The Lichtenberg Figures, Angle of Yaw (a finalist for the National Book Award), Mean Free Path and No Art as well as the essay The Hatred of Poetry.

In this episode of Identified, Nabil Ayers sits down with bestselling author and literary agent Betsy Lerner to explore identity, family history, and the complicated path to becoming a writer. Betsy reflects on her upbringing, the influence of her family, and how personal experiences eventually shaped both her writing and her career in publishing. Known for her work as a literary agent as well as her acclaimed memoirs and books on writing, Betsy has spent decades helping writers uncover the stories only they can tell. The conversation explores how identity, family dynamics, and cultural background can influence the stories we carry and the stories we are willing to share. Betsy also reflects on the emotional challenge of writing personal material, the tension between honesty and vulnerability, and why the most powerful writing often comes from confronting the truths we try hardest to avoid. This is a thoughtful discussion about storytelling, memory, and the role writing plays in helping us understand where we come from.

So this year we're doing something way more dangerous: March Movie Mayhem.That's right — 32 legendary 90s movies enter the bracket, and only ONE survives. Action movies, teen comedies, horror classics, and iconic dramas are all battling it out in a full-blown cinematic showdown. We're talking Shawshank Redemption vs Fight Club, Pulp Fiction vs The Matrix, Tommy Boy vs Austin Powers, and yes… some of these matchups feel like emotional crimes.The gang debates which movies deserve to survive round one, which films might sneak in as dark horses, and why trying to pick the greatest movie of the 90s might be the most impossible task since explaining the plot of The Big Lebowski to someone who's never seen it.Listeners can fill out their own bracket for a chance to win Pointfest tickets and a giant basket of 90s nostalgia (because Learn loves bundling baskets more than most people love their own family).But the movie madness is just the beginning.We also dive into the latest Oscars chaos, including Conan O'Brien roasting Hollywood, Timothée Chalamet accidentally starting a war with the opera and ballet community, and the ongoing tradition of people pretending they watched all the nominated movies when they absolutely did not.Elsewhere in today's show:• The Oscars recap nobody asked for but you're getting anyway• Michael B. Jordan's big win and the speech everyone actually liked• A tribute to legendary filmmaker Rob Reiner• Why Glenn Danzig buying kitty litter somehow broke the internet• Motorhead news that surprised the entire rock world• Bert Kreischer's tour bus literally catching fire• And the wild rumor about an actor secretly dating an AI chatbotPlus we wrap things up with birthdays, ridiculous celebrity gossip, and the kind of conversations that make this comedy podcast feel like hanging out with friends who absolutely should not have microphones.Rizz dealing with every traveler's worst nightmare after his wife gets stranded mid-trip thanks to a canceled flight and the mysterious black hole known as airline baggage handling. The crew swaps horror stories about delayed luggage, gate-checked bags that disappear for a week, and why seasoned travelers say never surrender your carry-on unless you absolutely have to.From there, the conversation veers straight into one of the most chaotic segments of the day: Sexy Time Fun Facts.The question seems harmless at first: How many people have you kissed in your lifetime? But once the numbers start coming out, the studio turns into a full-blown investigation. Some of the crew claim modest totals… while others reveal totals that sound like they might require a spreadsheet.Naturally this launches a hilarious debate about high school make-out culture, spin-the-bottle parties, first kisses that went terribly wrong, and the awkward reality that a lot of us learned how to kiss through trial, error, and very patient teenage partners.And then things get even stranger.The show discovers a bizarre new study ranking which states in America are the most “well-endowed.” The crew attempts to guess the winners, defend their home states, and question the extremely suspicious math behind self-reported statistics. Let's just say the results lead to a lot of Midwest pride, a lot of skepticism, and a lot of jokes that probably shouldn't be taken seriously.Somewhere along the way the gang also debates why 80% of men give their anatomy nicknames, what the weirdest ones are, and how a medical campaign is trying to use those names to get men to actually pay attention to their health.It's another unpredictable ride full of weird news, embarrassing stories, and the kind of chaotic conversations that somehow make perfect sense on a morning comedy podcast.If you enjoy ridiculous debates, awkward personal stories, and the kind of sarcastic humor that only happens when friends with microphones start oversharing, this comedy podcast episode delivers exactly that.Welcome back to your daily dose of chaos from The Rizzuto Show — the comedy podcast where nothing stays on topic for long.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.The Urology Foundation launches bold #NameIt campaign tapping into surprising creativity of British men's anatomy nicknames - from Big Ben to Long Dong SilverWell, hot dog!

Lerner explains how technical analysis serves as a critical accountability tool that can challenge narratives, force humility, and prompt timely portfolio adjustments when market data diverges from expectations. He discusses how the relative importance of different signals changes across market cycles, noting periods—such as sharp volatility events—when technicals deserve greater weight due to uncertainty in fundamentals or macro outcomes.Fill the Gap, hosted by David Lundgren, CMT, CFA and Tyler Wood, CMT brings veteran market analysts and money managers onto a monthly podcast.

We've had many conversations on Raise the Line about the challenges of health communication in today's world of information overload, but none of our guests have the kind of expertise Dr. Tesfa Alexander has acquired in a career that has taken him from Madison Avenue to the halls of government and academia. From guiding tobacco education research at the FDA to leading public health initiatives at MITRE, Dr. Alexander has developed a deep understanding of the science and strategy behind effective health communication. “Successful campaigns keep the long game in mind where you want to develop a lasting relationship with your target audience,” he tells host Lindsey Smith. That relationship needs to be built on understanding culture, beliefs, priorities and daily realities, and only then can you develop messaging that will resonate, he explains. Dr. Alexander also believes these relationships can be leveraged to help people sort out facts from misleading or inaccurate claims. “I strongly recommend shifting our focus from combating misinformation head on, and instead working with the communities who we are seeking to serve.” This fascinating look at communication science also covers: How stories drive belief; The importance of working with community partners who are trusted messengers; The power of audience segmentation. Tune in as Dr. Alexander unpacks what it takes to influence beliefs, and ultimately behaviors, in an era defined by misinformation and institutional mistrust.

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene interviews Oliver Lerner, president and co-founder of Shuk Rentals, a property management software platform built specifically for mom-and-pop landlords. Oliver shares how he bought his first rental property while still in college by house hacking a five-bedroom home with friends, and how that early experience shaped the way he approaches both landlording and business today. Oliver walks through the steep learning curve of managing properties on your own. From plumbing mistakes to expensive HVAC lessons, he explains how those early challenges helped him develop confidence and practical skills. He talks about the importance of buying right, understanding your numbers, and being willing to walk away from deals when they do not make sense. The conversation also explores the realities of being a small landlord in today's environment. Oliver discusses local regulations, rising fees, and the responsibility that comes with providing housing. He explains why he created Shuk Rentals to bring more transparency and accountability into the rental process, while giving independent landlords better tools to manage leases, communication, and retention. At its core, this episode is about building experience through action and creating systems that support long-term ownership. In this episode, you will hear: • How Oliver house hacked his first rental property in college • Why seeing dozens of homes before buying builds confidence and discipline • The importance of buying right to protect yourself from costly mistakes • Lessons learned from self-managing rentals and solving problems firsthand • Why mom-and-pop landlords play a vital role in the housing market • How better systems and transparency can improve tenant retention Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

This episode originally aired on March 10, 2025 — but is just as relevant today! Hope you enjoy :)--Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of The Chai on Life Podcast. I'm Alex Segal and today, I am speaking with Rivka Lerner. Originally from Switzerland, she works as a software developer and coach as well as a kallah teacher, but her love is in teaching and discussing profound ideas with Jews from all walks of life. After teaching with her husband Rabbi Simi Lerner in London for a few years, Rivka came back to Israel long term, and is now an educator in Tel Aviv for the anglo community, as well as in Midreshet Rachel V'Chaya. Above all else, a mother to her awesome four boys.I love this episode so much. We are really going deep into Purim. While Jews have never really had it “easy” this is a particularly tough time for the Jewish people everywhere and it feels a bit strange to be focused on joy when there is so much devastation around us. We talk about that. We speak about what happiness really means, how you can redefine it for yourself and how you can truly feel it this Purim.We also speak really practically about what Purim can look like for you. Is it super overwhelming? Do you not really like it as much as you feel like you “should”? Do you feel like you're missing out on that joy? We speak about ways you can access it and how you can transform your preparation and day even in just a few conversations that can be really life-changing.We talk about the megillah, parts of the megillah you may not have noticed before and intentions about the megillah that can change your experience while listening to it.At the end we speak about the comparison between Purim and Yom Kippur, or Yom HaKipppurim and what it really means that Yom Kippur is a day “like” Purim. There is so much depth in this episode, it is so rich with meaning and wisdom and profound takeaways and I am so excited for you to hear it and G-d willing for it to enrich your holiday this year in new ways.If there is someone you want to see on The Chai on Life Podcast, email me at alex@chaionlifemag.com or send me a DM @chaionlifemag. Thanks again, see you next week!

Post-Soviet Graffiti: Free Speech in Authoritarian States (University of Toronto Press, 2025) is an empirically grounded ethnographic study of how graffiti and street art can be used as a political tool to circumvent censorship, express grievances, and control public discourse, particularly in authoritarian states. For more than a decade, Dr. Alexis M. Lerner combed the alleyways, underpasses, and public squares of cities once under communist rule, from Berlin in the west to Vladivostok in the east, recording thousands of cases of critical and satirical political street art and cataloging these artworks linguistically and thematically across space and time. Complemented by first-hand interviews with leading artists, activists, and politicians from across the region, Post-Soviet Graffiti provides theoretical reflection on public space as a site for political action, a semiotic reading of signs and symbols, and street art as a form of text. The book answers the question of how we conceptualize avenues of dissent under authoritarian rule by showing how contemporary graffiti functions not only as a popular public aesthetic, but also as a mouthpiece of political sentiment, especially within the post-Soviet region and post-communist Europe. A purposefully anonymous and accessible artform, graffiti is an effective tool for circumventing censorship and expressing political views. This is especially true for marginalized populations and for those living in otherwise closed and censored states. Post-Soviet Graffiti reveals that graffiti does not exist in a vacuum; rather, it can be read as a narrative about a place, the people who live there, and the things that matter to them. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
